Love this story; a great balance of adventure, intruige and burgeoning romance. I thought you captured it all very well and it was wonderful to see the story grow and twist! Really liked the way you portrayed the relationships between the various siblings/relatives etc. Would LOVE a sequel, whether it continued on from the end of this story or picked up a later timeline; either would be awesome to see more character development. Well done!

I love this story, it would be cool for you to write a sequel with eowyn and faramir's relationship starting earlier having an effect on the war especially if Aragorn asked how they came to be together. I love seeing the relationships between Boromir, Eomer, Theodred, Faramir and Theodred.

Dear Wtiger5: "Sequel, Sequel, SEQUEL!" Yes, we want a sequel! This story was so good, we must have more! You write the brothers of Gondor, and the heirs of Theoden, very well indeed! I have enjoyed this story, and I'm sure a sequel-in which, I fervently hope, the relationship between Faramir and Eowyn continued to develop and flourish-will be just as interesting to read. Thanks for writing and posting this story. Sincerely, Darkover

Very well-written! Good for Eowyn, taking Denethor to task for his treatment of Faramir. For all the Steward's previous claim of wanting to be closer to his younger son, it didn't take long for him to relapse into his previous unkindness and abusive behavior. Eowyn is more in-character in this chapter than she has been throughout this story, IMHO. Boromir is absolutely right when he says his brother always gets the short end of the stick. One small criticism about this chapter: when Theodred says, "Father has always valued my council," the word in that context should be "counsel." That is easy to miss, as spell check would not catch it, but it is still an error. I am really enjoying how this story continues to develop, and I eagerly await the next chapter. Thanks for writing and posting this! Sincerely, Darkover
